G,day PC ,Originally posted by PC2267 View PostAfter weeks of planning I finally visited Whitechapel only to discover that Durwood Street is a building site...
I fear that Nichols's murder location will be harder to locate in the future. Mitre Square isn't a square anymore... but you can still see where Eddowes met her end, but only just. I knew all the other locations are long gone. But I did find Swallow Gardens 
, you can't actually get to it mind (like a little time capsule in there I imagine). I think I'm right in saying that Mitre Square will be only place still in existence that you can actually stand on... Interestingly there's no plaque or anything. Thought they'd have marked it somehow for the tourists.......?
I would say the west side of Hanbury st is one of the last standing witnesses to that Autumn .. If them old bricks opposite 29 could talk eh
we also have ye old board school & wall which still leads us down to Polly's site , along with the Ten Bells , Mary's corner and surrounding streets not to forget the Glorious Christchurch and all her majesty . Goulston street and the mysterious GSG can still be summoned up in the memory , particularly on a rainy night .

Good news, it would seem, although these corporate monsters rarely take no for an answer.

The set design on 'From Hell' is pretty breathtaking and though the film isn't much cop, the first generation DVD is worth a punt for the directors, the Hughes brothers, DVD extra touring the (not exactly topographically accurate but aesthetically as near as dammit) sets designed by David Baxa.Comment
